    Buying a hunting/mountain horse

    What places have you had the best luck with buying a hunting/mountain horse? I don't need a fully finished horse. I've bought of Craigslist before but good horses are few and far between.

    And so it begins....

    It is in the wolves wiring to kill bovine, elk and deer. There is no escaping that fact. I could see co having wolves if they immediately allow harvests like Id or mt. I expect it will be more like the 90s in those states. Totally hands off until things get way out of hand.

    The perspective of the anti-hunter.

    We as hunters are infinitely more in touch with the natural world than these internet loudmouths. The only knowledge they have is based off the documentary they watched or what they saw off the boardwalk in Yellowstone. These people need to realize they are just as responsible for displacing...

    Utopia- hound and big game, ideal locations?

    Nm is not at all what you're looking for from my experience. Good luck filling your freezer every year in that state. I'd stay in Idaho and learn how to trap wolves.
